Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a skillet. Cook, while stirring on occasion, onion, red pepper, and garlic until soft and onions are translucent (8 minutes). Add cumin, turmeric, and ketchup (cook for 1 minute).
I used a food processor to mix the onion ingredients, bean, and rice. Process well and then transfer to a bowl. Mix in breadcrumbs along with salt and pepper, and hot pepper sauce.

Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a skillet and drop 1/4 cup of the mixture into skillet. Flatten into 3-inch patties. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve :-)
